Let's please try not to be so barbaric.

If we must kill baby seals, cows or hogs,

let's just shoot them with tiny darts filled with

strong doses of the purest heroin.

                                                       If we must shoot humiliated children

                                          armed only with kamikaze belts

                           and pavement stones, let's do it with tiny darts

             full of a potion that makes them hungry

then open all the restaurants and offer steaks

carved from cows killed with wonder drugs.

And if we must bomb ancient cities such as

Belgrade let's do it with giant waterbombs

                      only after the advance uncover teams

             infiltrate the city and steal the towels.
